Lemon Curd Recipe- This lemon curd comes together in 10 minutes with just 5 simple ingredients. It’s bright, silky, and perfect for pastries, cakes, pancakes, or spooning straight from the jar. This recipe is from Sally's Baking Addiction Ingredients: 4 large egg yolks 2/3 cup (134g) granulated sugar 1 Tbsp lemon zest (about 1 lemon) 1/3 cup (80ml) fresh lemon juice (2–3 lemons) 1/8 tsp salt 6 Tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces Instructions: Set up a double boiler with 1–2 inches of simmering water. In the top pot, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens—about 10 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon or reach 170°F (77°C). Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until fully melted and the curd is silky. Transfer to a jar and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin. Let cool, then refrigerate. The curd will thicken as it chills.
